Originally one of the “Landmark”
hotels of the classic Vegas age, today
the remodelled Stardust fits in with all
of its neighbours; in short it is large,
flashy, and very pinky-redish. No Vegas
casino would be complete without a theme,
and the theme of the Stardust is “Havana
Nights”, but if you look a little
harder you will find that the real theme
of the casino is “Las Vegas”
Not this isn’t to say that the Stardust
isn’t a first class place to hang
out; on the contrary, it is on par with
its excellent bars, clubs, gaming floor,
rooms, and everything else that is the
trade of this city of cities. The Stardust
though has everything a strictly Vegas
casino should have… take for instance
the entertainment. If you want to have
the “classic Vegas entertainment
experience” then you might have
to go to Freemont Street. But at the Stardust
you can see classic Vegas acts like Don
Rickles and Wayne Newton with all the
amenities of a titanic Strip hotel. While
some people may want to head over to The
Mandalay Bay so that they can take the
kids to see the sharks, the real movers,
shakers, and high rollers are headed to
The Stardust to hang out with the gaming
crowd.
Another
excellent thing about The Stardust is
the fact that it is exactly what is says…
a hotel and casino. It’s classic
vintage Vegas sign says it all; here you
will be able to gamble the night away
and not have someone say, “Would
you like to try out one of our miniature
NASCAR?” No one will say “sir,
there’s an elephant over there that’s
just begging for you to get on its back”.
There are no yodeling gondoliers or exploding
volcanoes. At the Stardust you won’t
be interrupted in the middle of a dice
throw when the in house roller coaster
comes screaming (and I do mean screaming)
thought the casino floor. The Stardust
is complete… just Wayne, Don, and
a blackjack dealer wanting to know if
you want another card.
